Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: A Family of Three, Forever Happy

“Xiao Mo, New Year’s is almost here, come back soon. Don’t stay in South Africa,” Xu Chaomu still felt sorry for Xiao Mo.

“Depends on the situation,” Xiao Mo said. “I guess they don’t need me there for now.”

“Uncle, Uncle…” Xiaobao called out again.

Xiao Mo was delighted, “Uncle is here, Xiaobao, I’ll bring you a gift when I come back. Happy birthday, Xiaobao, be good with Mom.”

“Yay…” Xiaobao clapped his hands happily.

In the video, Xiao Mo saw Xiaobao’s tender face, which was exceptionally adorable.

Xu Chaomu had dressed him in a yellow sweater that suited his skin tone, making Xiaobao look especially vibrant and kissable.

“Alright, Chaomu, I won’t bother you any longer. Winter is here, go to rest early, and don’t catch a cold,” Xiao Mo said with concern.

“You too, take good care of yourself.”

“It’s you I’m worried about.”

“I’m not a child anymore,” Xu Chaomu pouted.

“It must be hard working and taking care of Xiaobao at the same time; let me know if you need anything, I still have a few friends in Jin City,” Xiao Mo said.

“Thank you, thank you for celebrating Xiaobao’s birthday.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t be there in person; it is a bit disappointing.”

“Plenty of time in the future.”

“Sure, when I come back, I’ll visit Xiaobao.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Mo watched the mother and son in the video, the corners of his lips gradually curving upwards. His gaze initially settled on Xiaobao’s face, then slowly turned to Xu Chaomu.

“Xiaobao, say goodbye to Uncle,” Xiao Mo said.

“He doesn’t say ‘goodbye’, he says ‘bye-bye’,” Xu Chaomu laughed.

“Okay, then say ‘bye-bye’,” Xiao Mo laughed.

“Xiaobao, Xiaobao, wave to Uncle Xiao Mo and say ‘bye-bye’,” Xu Chaomu taught him.

Xiaobao looked puzzled, his face filled with bewilderment.

“Oh dear, you’ve forgotten again? Didn’t Mom just teach you?” Xu Chaomu laughed and coaxed patiently.

Xiao Mo also patiently watched the mother and son on the video.

But at that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the room door with a “bang bang.”

Xu Chaomu turned her head, who could it be?

Xiao Mo also looked up, “You go answer the door; just hang up the video.”

“We’ll let Xiaobao video-call you another day,” Xu Chaomu laughed.

“Alright.”

Xu Chaomu hung up the video and then set Xiaobao on the chair before getting up to open the door.

As she cracked the door open, she saw Shen Chi wearing a black coat.

Shen Chi had just rushed over, looking travel-worn, with a hint of white frost on his forehead hair, carrying a large paper bag in his hand.

As Xu Chaomu opened the door, he curved his attractive lips into a smile.

Xu Chaomu let go of the doorknob, giving him a look.

“It’s Xiaobao’s birthday, and you didn’t even call me,” Shen Chi squeezed in.

The excitement in Xu Chaomu’s heart had not yet subsided, she pouted but didn’t hold anything against Shen Chi.

However, after hearing Xiao Mo’s words, she couldn’t help but feel that Xiaobao really resembled Shen Chi. She hadn’t noticed it before, but now it seemed to be a psychological effect.

Once inside, Shen Chi acted as if he were at his own home, casually placing the things in his hands on the table, and taking off his coat.

He squatted down to pick up Xiaobao from the chair and kissed him.

“Have you missed Daddy these past few days? Xiaobao looks so handsome today.”

Xiaobao giggled and laughed, having the closest bond with Shen Chi, recognizing him already.

Standing aside, Xu Chaomu didn’t say anything. Today was Xiaobao’s birthday, and she wasn’t about to ask Shen Chi to leave.

If everything Xiao Mo said was true, not just to comfort her, then… this child was Shen Chi’s child.

At this moment, her heart was truly a bit chaotic, but more than that, she was excited and nervous.

This surprise had come too suddenly, and she hadn’t been prepared enough.

She looked up to see the father and son nuzzling each other head to head.

No wonder Xiaobao liked Shen Chi so much, it was undeniable… the bond of blood between father and son was inseverable.

Under the light, Shen Chi’s figure was tall and straight beside him, holding Xiaobao made him look even more like a father, full of love.

She had never seen this side of Shen Chi before, not at all like the decisive, cold-blooded man; now, Shen Chi was radiating warmth.

Sometimes, she found it quite miraculous.

How indifferent this man had been in the past, she even thought he might not like children, but as it turned out, she was wrong.

“Daddy…” Xiaobao called out.

After some time being coached by Shen Chi, Xiaobao no longer randomly called out “Daddy,” only calling Shen Chi “Daddy.”

Xu Chaomu was exasperated, this man was really scheming.

“Hmm, daddy’s here, Daddy came to celebrate Xiaobao’s birthday,” Shen Chi said with a smile while hugging him, “Do you like Daddy?”

“Like…” Xiaobao said in his baby voice.

“Daddy likes you too,” Shen Chi said, holding him with a face full of smiles.

Xu Chaomu glanced at him, having to admit, this man was very handsome when he smiled.

After so many years, seeing his smile still made her involuntarily take a longer look.

“Come, see what Daddy brought you as a gift.” With that, Shen Chi put Xiaobao back in his chair.

Xu Chaomu hadn’t expected Shen Chi to come tonight, but… now that he was here, Xiaobao was quite happy.

“Come help me unwrap it.” Shen Chi looked at Xu Chaomu, who was standing still, with a look of disgust.

“Oh…”

Xu Chaomu went to help him unwrap the gift box, which turned out to be an even larger cake.

“The cake is custom-made, I wrote the words on it myself,” Shen Chi said, “Glad I could make it.”

“I already bought a cake for Xiaobao.”

“What’s wrong with one more?” Shen Chi rolled his eyes at her, increasingly disgusted.

“…”

As the cake box was opened, Xu Chaomu saw the words on it: A family of three, forever happy.

Her hand trembled, at that moment, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

“Much bigger than your small cake, look at you, so stingy,” Shen Chi said.

“Buying such a big cake that can’t be finished, isn’t that wasting? Xiaobao is so small, he can only eat a few bites, the thought is what counts.”

“My son Shen Chi, of course, deserves the best.”

“Don’t teach him to be wasteful; I can’t afford to raise him like that in the future.”

“If you can’t afford it, don’t I still exist?” Shen Chi said, “I never expected you could afford to raise him with that salary of yours.”

Shen Chi’s tone was full of disdain, and Xu Chaomu really wanted to scratch him!

“By the way, why were you so slow to open the door just now, were you talking to someone on the phone?” Shen Chi asked.

“Mind your own business.” Xu Chaomu rolled her eyes at him.

But before she could finish speaking, Shen Chi grabbed her phone!

“Hey, why are you like this, don’t touch my things.”

“Xiao Mo?” Shen Chi frowned, scrolling through her phone, “It’s not his son, yet he’s so eager.”

“How annoying you are, I told you not to touch my phone,” Xu Chaomu said irritably.
